In this huge new update, you'll be able to play After Inc. in fresh new ways with Custom Scenarios made by the community, or make your own with the Scenario Creator. We can’t wait to play what you create!
Lead the Way
Start by setting leaders, modifiers, regions, music tracks and difficulty levels as well as custom modifiers and even specific random seeds.
Change the World
Edit Regions to fit your scenarios. Do you want a forested haven or a mountainous zombie hellscape?
Specify resources, terrain type, exploration status, zombie numbers, infestations and more!
Deep Customisation
Tweak core game mechanics including Morale, Authority, Seasons, Zombies, Fighters and more. Make the game play the way you want!
Break the Mould
Once you know your way around, use the advanced editors to create truly unique gameplay experiences.
Set up Goals to tell stories, send players on adventures or lay down the gauntlet with a challenging set of objectives.
Give Survivors new developments to build or edit existing ones to change their costs, benefits and consequences.
Create new resources (or tweak existing ones), whether that's giving the Survivors the ability to drill for oil or … even eat concrete?
Make it Eventful
Add starting events, points of interest or disable specific types of events entirely.
Want to really get technical? We've included a hugely powerful Lua Scripting Event & Decision Editor with extensive documentation to get you started on your masterpiece.
Create as many complex Events & Decisions as you want, the sky is the limit!
Browse Scenarios
Don't want to make scenarios? Then it's time to play some!

New Authority Balancing
We've been carefully listening to player feedback on Patience, Authority and beating levels and we are introducing a new Authority mechanic.
If you lose all your Authority, you no longer immediately lose the game. Instead, your leader is disgraced and loses the respect of the people. The settlement becomes harder to govern and your final score will be reduced significantly but you can keep playing and win.
We hope that this lets experienced players continue to challenge themselves whilst making things more accessible for new players or people wanting a more relaxed game. (without needing new difficulty settings etc).
What's Next?
Now that we've completed the Scenario Creator, we've only got a few things left to do before 1.0! Currently, we are working on Steamdeck support and a brand new campaign…
